  • Publication number: 20230358250
    Abstract: Products, systems and methods for removing a first item from a client computing system, in response to detecting the first item is declared as belonging to a first class in a database; preventing editing of a second item by the client computing system, in response to detecting the second item is declared as belonging to a second class in the database, a record declared as belonging to the first class or the second class by an application executed on the client computing system, the client computing system remotely connected, via a communications network, to a content management system associated with the database; and queuing a third item for transfer to the client computing system over the communications network, in response to detecting a synchronization event initiated by the client computing system or a server computing system connected to the client computing system over the communications network.

  • Publication number: 20230195911
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems, method and products configured for providing one or more restriction groups in a content management system are provided. One or more restriction marks may be associated with the one or more restriction groups. At least a first restriction mark may be associated with a first restriction group. The first restriction mark may be assigned to a first content item stored in the content management system, in response to determining that the first content is associated with the first restriction group, the first content item being associated with metadata indicating user access permissions according to the first restriction mark and a security classification. The metadata associated with the first content item may be updated based on the assignment of the first restriction mark to the first content item to allow or limit user access to the first content item.

  • Patent number: 11674525
    Abstract: A system and method for records management and classification of files in a content management system having a server system that stores the files. A system detects when at least one of the files is classified by a user of a client computing system as a classified file, and based on the detecting of the classification of the one or more files, each classified file is removed from the client computing system. The system further detects when at least one of the files is declared as a permanent record by the user of the client computing system, and based on the detecting of the declaration as a permanent record, prevents editing by the client computing system of each file declared as a permanent record.

  • Patent number: 10754901
    Abstract: Event information associated with an occurrence of an event in an electronic content management system can be routed to an event information broker of an analytics engine that is configured to maintain data routing continuity by storing the event information in a system memory. The analytics engine can be logically and/or physically separate from the electronic content management system. The broker can separate event information into event topic bins. Messenger listeners can be used to obtain event information and store it in a staging area database for analysis and reporting without interfering with the operations of the electronic content management system.

  • Patent number: 10713368
    Abstract: A user interface for applying restriction parameters to content items and users in a grouped manner is provided. A selection of one or more restriction groups can be received through a graphical user interface on a display device associated with a content management system. One or more restriction marks associated with the one or more restriction groups can be displayed on the graphical user interface. A selection of the displayed one or more restriction marks can be received through the graphical user interface for being assigned to a content item stored in the content management system. The content item can have associated metadata stored in the content management system. Metadata associated with the content item can be updated. The updated metadata can indicate that the selection of the one or more restriction marks is assigned to the content item.
